scatterHatch

scatterHatch generates scatterplots that distinguish biological groups using both color and hatched texture patterns.

Key Features:

• Texture-based Group Discrimination: Applies hatched patterns to scatterplot points to enable group identification independent of color.
• Accessibility Support: Provides visual differentiation methods that accommodate color blindness and other visual impairments.
• Multi-group Visualization: Handles scatterplots with many groups where color alone is insufficient for clear distinction.

Scientific Applications:

• Computational Biology Visualization: Creates accessible scatterplots for datasets containing numerous biological groups or categories.

Methodology:

The package efficiently renders hatched texture patterns overlaid on or replacing color-coded scatterplot points.
